Distance line tab

The Distance axis tab allows you to configure the information displayed along the geographical axis of the Time-Location schedule.

This axis represents the position of activities along the project (for example: kilometres, metres, or geographic reference points).

It is possible to add different distance lines to enrich the readability of the schedule.

The interface is composed of two main sections:

• management of the distance lines
• editing the parameters of a line

The upper section allows you to manage the lines displayed along the distance axis.

Two areas are available:

• Distance line

corresponds to the primary axis visible in the view

• Opposite distance line

allows additional information to be displayed on the opposite axis of the schedule

The + and – buttons respectively allow you to:

• add a new line
• remove an existing line

The arrows allow you to modify the display order of the different lines.

The lower section of the interface allows you to modify the parameters of the selected line.

You can define:

• the displayed value
• the display interval
• the font and text size
• the line height
• the text position
• the background colour

Three types of lines can be used to enrich the distance axis:

• Text

to display chainage markers (km, metres, etc.)

• Sector

to display project zones or geographical elements

• Image

to display graphical elements along the alignment

The following sections explain in detail how to use each of these line types.
